Enyimba Aba (6th)

Last five matches: WWLWL

The Eastern-based team and two times CAF champions league winners have had some mixed results in recent times; however, they must win this match to keep the hope of playing continental football alive. They are two points away from assuming the third spot with fifty-one points in thirty-four games.

More recently, against Mountain of Fire Ministries FC, they failed to take anything away from the match despite scoring first; the home team came back from a goal down and struck twice to defeat the former champions.

Enyimba of Aba have been a force at home throughout the season, with thirteen wins, three draws and a loss.

Heartland FC (19th)

Last five matches: WLWLW

It will be a miracle for the visitors to survive this season with forty points in the last thirty-four matches. Their problem has been winning away from home as they have only acquired three points during the previous seventeen away games.

The gap between them and the last spot is four points; however, the good news is that it's still very much in their hands if they can win all their remaining home games and pray the other team above them lose.

They snatched a victory against Katsina United on matchday 34 as they vetoed the visitors (1-0).

They have not won a match away from home this season with fourteen defeats and three draws.

Experts Betting Tips

In the last ten matches, Heartland FC have defeated Enyimba five times while the home team have had just a win with four games ending in a split of points.

Enyimba Aba are the most successful team in the division. They are cut out to play continental football; they know what's at stake because winning away from home in this league is getting difficult regularly; bet on a home win and over 1.5 goals for 1.75.

Home teams stand the chance of scoring more than a goal as their top man Victor Mboama fights for NPFL top scorers awards, the talisman who just signed with MC Alger of Algeria would love to prove himself before signing out; bet on the home halftime victory for 1.90.

A correct score of 3-0 might emerge here for 7.50.

Good luck!
